Rewind: Instagram Smiles

Here are a few of my instagram (and instaframe) photos from the past 10 days. All these things have made me smile! #lifeisgood

Back to school - 5th and 7th Grade!!

A little pinterest-inspired humor in the Baker House: 

Beauty on my morning walk!

Free tickets to the Springfield Cardinal's game! With the Stinson's! Love them and this lil guy! #popcorn

And I made these fun dry-erase message boards for my etsy shop! (link in top right-hand column.) I just LOVE how they turned out!  

#growingup

Oh, sweet children of mine...you are growing up waaay too fast!  Thanks for letting me capture these photos of you on our walk the other evening...on a January day that felt more like Springtime than winter.

Morgan found this heart in a rock on our walk and snapped a picture of it. 

My 3 favorites!

How'd I get so lucky to be their mom?! 

Sweet Sarah. She found this branch hanging over the water. 

Do you see how tall she is?! 

Doesn't everyone walk on their hands on a walk?

She first had the idea...as a way to walk across river without getting wet. 

Silliness. Glad you got over your 'I don't want to walk!' attitude. ;) 

Look at all that Green! In January!

Changing before my eyes...

The Next Chapter

Well I was brave, I let Morgan get out of the car and head into the middle school building this morning! I wish I could have carried all her nervous-ness with me and gifted her with confidence as she stepped out of the car this morning. I'm looking forward to hearing all about her day when she gets off the bus at 3 today!

Then I hurried back home and got Sarah out the door for the bus. It's gonna be a crazy schedule this year with two different start times, but I'm sure we'll get into a routine soon enough!

Oh, and we got to start the first day of school with NO running water in the house! Fun times!! :)  Thankfully Mike stayed home this morning to help with all this craziness! And hopefully we will have running water again before the end of today...after they dig up our front yard, that is.

Anyway, here are my 4th and 6th Graders for the 2012-2013 school year (you can click on the picture to see it bigger.)

And at the bus stop this morning...

Instagram

I've been playing around with the instagram app on my phone this weekend. Fun how just a few clicks changes the look of your photo. Here's a few moments captured on film...

Girl Scout Campout - Making mini fires in my backyard

Campfire Breakfast

Maddy & Morgan - Good to have great neighborhood friends!

Adonia & Sarah - Again, love having great friends in the neighborhood!

Look what we found by the side of the trail @ Lake Springfield

Taking a hike on National Trails Day @ Lake Springfield

A few moments captured in time...

I still have LOTS of pictures to sort through, but I just thought I'd share these ones right now..
